Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way

Jake doesn’t have any princess dresses, but Maile learned this weekend that princesses aren’t the only ones with cool outfits!
Jake and Maile as Batman and Robin! Na-na-na-nah-nah-nah...
Now what?!
MUSCLES!

Christine has been really good at sending me little videos and photos of Lauren and Maile when I’m gone at work. I love them. (Although I must admit they make me want to get home just as quickly as I can!)

Sisterly love!

We have a family Oscars pool tradition. This year wasn’t the first time Maile participated, but it was the first time she did her ballot all be herself!
Mommy printed out a ballot and told Maile to pick one option in each category ...
As you can see, Maile takes her Oscars picking VERY seriously!
For whatever reason, Maile was a big fan of Django Unchained this year...
Needless to say, we’re in big trouble once she starts to actually see the movies!

Facetime. For when you stub your toe and your daddy is at work...

As we’ve said before, the hardest part of living away from our families is when the kids get sick or our normal routine is otherwise disrupted. That was certainly the case the past couple of weeks with first Maile and then Lauren getting sick (and Maile having school vacation this week as well). Luckily, we had a well-timed visit from Grandma Jill to keep us sane and help us out! Grandma arrived on Friday and left earlier today – not only did we have loads of fun with her (especially Maile), but Daddy and Mommy were able to get some much needed rest.
Who says Grandmas can't do two things at once!?
Thank you Grandma Jill for everything!
We miss you already Grandma!

It’s been a long week on the home front. Maile has been home from school all week, but today she finally started feeling better. The hardest part has definitely been staying away from Lauren, but we loosened the reigns a little bit today as she’s been fever free… and that lead to this exchange – which was awesome 🙂

Maile Girl has been home from school sick the past couple of days. A bit of a cough and fever – we actually don’t think it’s the flu luckily, but still poor girl hasn’t been feeling well. She has her moments where she just is lethargic on the couch, but other times, you’d think she was pulling a Ferris Bueller on us. For example, yesterday morning she decided to call up Grandma Gail and have a chat…

Mommy, Maile (3.5) and Lauren (5 weeks)
I’m a lucky man!

I think this video really captures how Maile interacts with Lauren these days. The first couple of weeks, she was kind of shy around Lauren. Don’t get me wrong, she loved holding her, but she didn’t really talk to her. Now, that’s all changed. Maile is constantly talking and singing to Lauren. She tells her stories, she mimics the things that Mommy and Daddy say, she encourages her, she asks her what’s wrong when she cries (and then quickly reports to us). It’s just awesome watching their relationship really starting to blossom.
And for her part, Lauren has been rocking it on the tummy time front – no doubt because she wants to impress her big sister!
